[comp.windows.x] problem with standard colormap

tsao@helios.tcad.ee.ufl.edu ( Tsao) (05/01/91)

I am trying to get a standard colormap to allocate some colors, but failed to
get one, this is what I tried:

	XGetRGBColormaps(dpy, XDefaultRootWindow(dpy), 
			   &std_colormap, &cmap_num,
			       XA_RGB_BEST_MAP);

	where std_colormap is type XStandardColormap*.

I also tried:
	XGetStandardColormap(...); 
	which has been superseded by XGetRGBColormap in release 4.

I am using x11r4 and a SunSparc with a 8 plane color monitor.

thanks.
